Why

A citation baseline run found that this README has no links to docs.endorlabs.com at all. Readers who land here, and the AI assistants that cite this page, have no path from the README to the documentation for anything it describes.

One correction to how this was originally framed. The baseline report justified this change as redirecting SEO authority to the docs. That mechanism does not work: GitHub renders every external link in a README with rel="nofollow", so these links pass no PageRank. The real benefit is narrower and worth stating honestly:

• Readers of the README get a path to the documentation they currently do not have.
• The canonical docs URLs now appear as text in a heavily indexed, high-authority page, which helps assistants cite the right URL on the right host. That is directly relevant to the baseline finding, where assistants cited a mirror host and two dead archive hosts.

This does not fix the broken citations themselves. That needs the TLS certificate on docs.api.endorlabs.com and the removal of the docs-archive DNS records, neither of which lives in a repository.

What changed

Contextual links only. No wording about product behavior was changed, and no parameter descriptions were touched.

• Each capability bullet in the intro links to the page for that scan type (AI SAST, secrets, SCA and reachability, malware, AI models, containers, GitHub Actions and CI/CD tooling, RSPM).
• The intro paragraph links PR scans, PR comments, and SARIF export to GitHub Advanced Security.
• A new Documentation section links the GitHub Actions setup page, the keyless authentication page, and the endorctl CLI reference.
• The prerequisites and usage steps link keyless authentication, API keys, and authorization policies.
• Each parameter table now points at the reference documentation behind its inputs, including the endorctl scan reference, the environment variables reference, and artifact signing.

Verification

All 22 documentation URLs return 200 directly, checked without following redirects. Each link target was checked against the page it points to, so the link text matches the page subject.

The second commit fixes a defect in the first. docs.endorlabs.com canonicalizes without a trailing slash, declares self-referencing canonical tags in that form, and returns 308 for the slashed form. The links initially carried trailing slashes, making each one a redirect hop to the canonical URL rather than a direct hit on it.
